The State Capital of Tuesday
morning printed the following in
red ink: “Republicans, don’t be
hasty in deciding what yon will do
regarding the constitution. The
Tulsa convention will do the wise
thing.” Evidently Prank Greer
has discovered that he is not the
whole republican party.
We are glad to note that Ren-
frew's Record and the Woods
County News are getting right on
the statehood question, and would
think that more of the Republican
papers, (especially the Ingersoll
Review atul the Cleo Chieftain),
would show enough patriotism to
be willing to accept statehood
while they have the opportunity.

In speaking of Chas. L Moore,
of Enid, who has been nominated
by the democrats for district judge
for this district the Cleo Chieftain
says that “He is a migliy good cit-
izen and a good lawyer and the re
publicans will have to put up their
best man to beat him.” Weil! The
rantaukerous John has had the
fact pounded into liim at last that
the republicans are going to put
up a ticket! Rut don’t worry, John.
The republicans will find the “best
man” to beat Mr. Moore, never
fear.
"We understand it took 25 bar-
rels of powder for Fairview to cel-
•brate the court decision in the in-
junction case. -Just wait, till “Ted-

of Fairview and Fairview people.
During an unusually severe spasm
a few days since, lie charged (by
imputation) that the editor of this
paper has been paid money and
town lots fer his attitude iu the
statehood fight. Of course Bishop’s
charge is a silly falsehood and he
knows it but it is a part of his plan
to besmirch every one in Fairview
(or anywhere else) if he thinks it
will aid him in his tight against
this town. Desperate? Well, Yes!
“If the republicans should put
out a ticket and make the fool mis-
take of nominating candidates for
these offices (county attorney and
probate Judge) from Fairview, the
Deacon and the Judge are certain
of election anyway.”—Cleo Chief-
tain.
You didn’t mean to admit, did
you John, that you, (so straight a
republican that you bend back-
ward) would vote for u demoorat if
he suited your purpose? A Fair-
view republican who votes
for a demoorat is anything but a
gentleman, but a Cleoite who does
the same is a little white augel,
isn’t he? Come off.
11 is mighty consistent for un
old chronic office holder and seeker
who has lived at the pie counter so
long that history saith not when
he begun, to charge others with be-
ing “republicans for revenue only.”
Even now Bishop, the colicKy one,
is fighting statehood and advocat-
ing the annihilation of his party
in older that be may hold to his
little Federal office awhile longer.
About a year ago he bolted a ie
publican convention beoaue it did
not go to suit him. We will admit
that it is hard to walk to the polls
and vote with the same party that
such an old pie guzzler as John
W. Bishop claims to belong to, but
we do it because we know the good
sense of the party will not give
him what he wants—license to run
things. As for Frantz, Bishop
may rant and fume, spit and splut-
ter, but when the votes are counted
this fall Frantz will receive more
votes in Fairview town than in all
Cleo township, counting the “nig-
gers” in. We won’t knife Frantz
ut the polls, neither are we fight-
ing him now by trying to prevent
the republican party from putting
up a state ticket with Frantz at its
head.

Those democrats who are slap-
ping themselves ou the thigh in
glee because “the republican party
is disorganized” will be wearing a
long face shortly. The republicans
will put a state ticket in the field
and it will be a hummer. Major
county republicans will fall in line
and the democratic candidates who
are congratulating themselves on
s walkaway will find before elec-
tion day that they have the fight
of their lives on hand. Major
county’s first officers will be mostly
republicans.

“No.”—she looked anxiously about,
—“they were to arrive late, he and the
Taylors; they know the Armstrongs
quite well. They may come at any
moment now. Please go!”
“But I have only a few minutes my-
self,—you wouldn’t have me sit them
out In the station down town? There
are some things I have come to say,
and Arthur Pickering and. I are not
afraid of each other!”
“But you must not meet him here.
Think what that would mean to me!
You are very foolhardy, Mr. Glenarm.
I had no Idea you would come—” ,
“But you wished to try me,—you
challenged me.”
“That wasn't me,—It was Olivia,”
she laughed, more at ease, “I
thought—”
“Yes, what did you think—that I
was tied hand and foot by a dead
man's money—”
“No, It wasn’t that wretched for-
tune; but I enjoyed playing the child
before you—I really love Olivia—and
It seemed that the fairies were protect-
ing me and that I could play being a
child to the very end of the chapter
without any real mischief coming of It.
I wish I were Olivia!” she declared,
her eyes away from me.
“That’s rather Idle. I’m not really
sure yet what your name Is, and I
don’t care. Let's Imagine that we
haven’t any names,—I’m sure my name
Isn't of any use, and I’ll be glad to go
nameless all my days If only—”
“If only—” she repeated Idly, open-
ing and closing her fan. It was a frail
blue trifle, painted in golden butter-
flies.
“There are so many 'If onlies' that I
hesitate to choose; but I will venture
one. If only you will come back to St.
Agatha’s! Not to-morrow, or the next
day, but, say, with the first bluebirds.
I believe they are the harbingers up
there.”
Her very ease was a balm to my
spirits; she was now aiveritable daugh-
ter of repose. One arm In its long,
white sheath lay quiet in her lap; her
right hand held the golden butterflies
against the soft curve of her dheek. A
collar of pearls clasped her throat and
accented the clear girlish outlines of
her profile. I felt the appteal of her
youth and purity. It was like a cry in
my heart, and the dreary house by the
lake, and Pickering and the weeks
within the stone walls of my prison
were as though they had never been.
“The friends who know me best
never expect me to promise to be any-
where at a given time. I can’t tell;
perhaps I shall follow the bfluefolrds to
Indiana; but why should I, when I
can’t play being Olivia any more?”
“Why not? You have seen how dull
I am; and that note of apology you
wrote from the school really fooled
me. But I have seen the real Olivia
now. I don’t want you to go too far—
not where I can’t failow—and this
flight I shall hardly dane repeat.”
Her lips closed—llke«a rose that had
gone back to be a bud,.again—and she
pondered a moment, slowly freeing
and Imprisoning the goliiien butterflies.
“You have risked a', fortune, Mr.
Glenarm, very, very foolishly,—If you
are found here. Why, Olivia must
have recognized you! She had seen
you often across’the wall.l”
“But I don’t care-fl'm/il not staying
at that ruin up there forNtmoney. My
grandfather meant moreMto me than
that—”
“Yes; I believe that ls^ao. He, was
a dear old gentleman; ar jd ihe liked .me
because I thought his J pkeu adorable.:
My father and he ha<i kat/wn each
other. But there was—-no (expectation

wouldn’t accept a cent of Mr. Glen-
arm’s money if It were offered me;
and that is why,”—and her smile was
a flash of spring,—“I want you to obey
the terms of the will and earn your
fortune.”
j She closed the fan sharply and
lifted her eyes to mine.
“But there Isn’t any fortune; It’s
all a myth, a joke.’’
j “Mr. Plokerlng doesn’t seem to
think so. He had every reason for be-
j lieving that Mr. Glenarm was a very
j rich man.”
! “But assuming that there’s money
burled there by the lake like a pirate's
1 treasure, It Isn’t Pickering’s If he finds
It. There are laws to protect even the
dead from robbery!” I concluded hotly.
“How difficult you are! Suppose
you should fall from a boat, or be shot
—accidentally—then I might have to
take the fortune after all; and Mr.
Pickering might think of an easier way
of getting It than by—”
"Stealing It! Yes; I know what you
mean; but you wouldn’t—!”
Half-past 12 struck on the stairway
and I Btarted to my feet.
“You wouldn’t—” I repeated.
“I might, you know!”
“I must go,—but not with that, not
with any hint of that,—please!”
“If you let him defeat you, if you
fall to spend your year there,—we'll
overlook this one lapse,”—she looked
me steadily in the eyes, wholly guilt-
less of coquetry but infinitely kind,—
“then.—”
She paused, opened the fan, held It
up to the light and studied the golden
butterflies.
“Yes—”
“Then—let me see—oh, I shall never
chase another rabbit as long as I live!
Now go—quickly—quickly!”
“But you haven’t told me when and
where it was we met the first time.
Please!"
She laughed, but urged me away
with her eyes. *
“I shan't do it! It isn’t proper for
me to remember, if your memory is
so poor. I wonder how it would seem
for us to meet just once—and be In-
troduced! Good night! You really
came. You are a gentleman of your
word, Squire Glenarm!”
She gave me the tips of her fingers
without looking at me.
A servant came in hurriedly.
“Miss Devereux, Mr. and Mrs. Tay-
lor and Mr. Pickering are In the draw-
ing-room.”
“Yes; very well; I will come at
once.” '
Then to me:
“They must not see you—there, that
way!” and she stood in the door, fac-
ing me, her hands lightly touching the
frame as though to. secure my way.
I turned for a last look and saw her
waiting—her eyes bent gravely upon
me, her arms still half-raised, barring
the door; then she turned swiftly
away and passed through the hall.
Outside I found my hat and coat,
and wakened my sleeping driver. He
drove like mad Into the city, and I
swung myself upon the north-bound
train just as it was drawing out of the
station.

CHAPTER XVIII.
I Meet an Old Friend.
When I reached Glenarm House the
next morning I found to my astonish-
ment that the window I had left open
as I scrambled out the night before
was closed. I dropped my bag and
crept to the front door, thinking that
if Bates had discovered my absence It
was useless to attempt any further
deception. I was amazed to find the
great doors of the main entrance flung
wide, nnd In real ularm I ran through
the hall and hack to the library.
The nearest door stood open, and, as
j peered In, a curious scene disclosed
jltself. A few of I he large cathedral
candles still burned brightly In several
places, their flames rising strangely In
the gray morning light. Books had
been taken from the shelves and scat-
tered everywhere, and sharp Imple-
ments had cut ugly gashes In the
shelving. The drawers containing
sketches and photographs had been
pulled out and their contents thrown
about and trampled under foot.
The house was as silent as a tomb,
but as I stood on the threshold trying
to realize what had happened, some-
thing stirred by the fireplace and I
crept forward, listening, until I stood
by the long table beneath the great
chandelier. Again I heard a sound as
jot some animal walking and stretch-
ing, followed by a moan that undoubt-
edly was human. Then the hands of a
man clutched the farther edge of the
table, and slowly and evidently with
infinite difficulty a figure rose and the
dark face of Bates, with eyes blurred
and staring strangely, confronted me.
He drew his body to Its height and
leaned heavily upon the table. I
snatched a candle and bent toward
him to make sure my eyes were not
tricking me.
“Mr. Glenarm; Mr. Glenarm;” he ex-
claimed m broken whispers. “It Is
Bates, sir.”
“What have you done; what has hap-
pened?” I demanded.
He put his hand to his head uncer-
tainly and gasped as though trying to
gather his wits.
fte was evidently dazed by whatever
had occurred, and I sprang round and
helped him to a couch. He would not
lie down but sat up, staring and pass-
ing hiB hand over his head. It was
rapidly growing lighter, and I saw a
purple and black streak across his
temple where a bludgeon of some sort
had struck him.
“What does this mean. Bates? Who
has been in the house?”
“It was early this morning,” he fal-
tered. “about two o’clock, I heard
noises In the lower part of the house.
I came down, thinking likely It was
you, and remembering that you had
been sick yesterday—”
“Yes, go on.”
The thought of my truancy was no
balm to my conscience Just then.
“As I came into the hall, saw lights
In the library. As you weren’t down
last night the room hadn't been lighted
at all. I heard steps, -and some one
tipping with a hammer—”
“Yes; a hammer. Go on!”
It was, then, the same old story!
The war had been carried openly Into
the house, but Bates.—-just why should
any one connected with the conspiracy
Injure Bates, who stood so near tQ
Pickering, Its leader? The fellow was
undoubtedly hurt,—there was no mis?
taking the wound on his head. He
spoke with a painful difficulty that
was not assumed, I Alt increasingly
sure, as he went on.
“I saw a man pulling out the books
and tapping the Inside of the shelves.
He was working very fast. And the
next thing I knew he let in another
man through one of the casemonts,—■
the one there that still ataqds a little
opeu.”
He flinched as he turned slightly to

indicate it, and his face twitched with
pain.
“Never mind that; tell the rest of
your story.”
“Then I ran in, grabbed one of the
big candelabra from the table, and
went for the nearest man. They were
about to begin on the chimney-breast
—it was Mr. Glenarm’s pride in all
the house,—and that accounts for my
being there In front of the fireplace.
They rather got the best of me, sir.”
“Clearly; I see they did. You had a
hand-to-hand fight with them, and be-
ing two to one—”
“No; there were two of us,—don’t
you understand, two of us! There
was another man who came running In
from somewhere, and he took sides
with me. I thought at first it was you,
sir. The robbers thought so, too, for
one of them yelled, 'Great God; Glen-
arm's come back!' just jllfe that, But
It wasn't ypu, sir, but .quite another
